IMPROVEMENT IN CULINARY APPARATUS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,114.,dated July 22, 1873; application filed March 5, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, REUBEN H. UAZIER, of the city and county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improved Culinary Apparatus, of which the following is a specification:

The invention consists of a cylindrical chamber open at both ends, upon inwardly-projecting lugs of which is supported a cooking dish or pan, in such manner thata draft-flue separates them. An open ring or cover of the cylinder covers the flue and partially covers the pan.

Figure 1 is a view, showing the apparatus ready for use. Fig. 2 shows the same open. Fig. 3 is a sectional view. Fig. 4 shows the apparatus constructed for diverting the vapor arising from the culinary dish without passing over the top of the same.

A is short cylinder or case open at both ends. B is a culinary pan, which is contained within the cylinder A, resting on the lugs or projections a, Fig. 3. The difference between the diameters of the two vessels is such that a circular flue, b, intervenes. The top of the pan is slightly below the containing-cylinder A. G is an open lid or ring, which is hinged to the cylinder A. When shut it closes the flue b and partially closes the pan B.

When, in use, the apparatus is set over the opening of a stove the heat of the fire causes a current of air to pass from the room in which the stove is set, through the flue b and up the flue of the chimney of the building, carrying with it the steam or vapor arising from the culinary pan B.

Fig. 4 shows a slight deviation from the construction shown in Figs, 1, 2, 3. The draft passes through openings formed in the wall of the pan B.

I claim as my invention The case A, pan B, lugs a, and the open lid or ring G,substantially as and for the purpose shown and described. I

In testimony whereof I hereunto sign my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

REUBEN H. OAZIER.
